Brown Belt Divisions
We have received a couple inquiries about whether there will be Brown Belt divisions at the U.S. Open, in light of the Brown-Black Belt Team Challenge. YES, there will be brown belt divisions: Adult, Master, and Seniors. In fact we already have one brown belt registered, waiting for the rest of you to step up to the plate.
